BIRTHDAY CARD Commission

Well its been one of those days, woke up this morning feeling worse than i did yesterday. Thumping head, sore eyes and the same annoying cough!!! I am soooo fed up with this cold, but from what I gather im not the only one suffering with it. Have had visitors all day too, which although nice to catch up with everyone, has been very tiring. I was glad to close the door finally at 5.00pm!

Due to my visitors and this cold i have done little crafting over the last 24 or so hours. I was asked to make this birthday card on Tuesday for Wednesday! No pressure then! It was for a friend, so i didn't like to say no. I have to say i havn't been feeling at all creative and making this has been very hard going, can't say i was overly happy with the finished product either, but my friend took it and said she loved it. I shall never know whether she did or didn't, if she doesn't come back for anymore i will only be able to draw my own conclusions. I am never very good when it comes to mens cards, but having the photo at least gave me a focal point! As you can see have left it fairly simple, yep thats me all over - simple!

Anyway here it is.



For anyone else suffering from this blasted cold, hope you have a good nights sleep, me im going to have some hot chocolate and cream before i go to bed, it seemed to help last night. Hopefully will get round to a bit of card making tomorrow. Hugs for now Linda x
